Q:
What are the side effects of Levitape™?
A:

At normal levamisole dose levels, sheep rarely show side-effects. Any effect of over-dosage will be due to the levamisole component of the product and symptoms are therefore those of levamisole over-dosage. They are transient and include head-shaking, salivation, lachrymation, slight muscle tremors and mild excitability. There are no specific antidotes for levamisole poisoning.

Praziquantel has a wide margin of safety and symptoms of poisoning have not been described for sheep. The praziquantel component of Levitape poses no hazard to sheep at normal dose rates.
